Woodholme

Here’s some pictures from a cool house in London Ontario known as Woodholme. I mention this house known as Woodholme a few times in this post in hopes of getting picked up on search engines. Why? Because before this post, actual photographs of Woodholme were unavailable to be seen by anyone on search engines... This is a damn shame because the house is very cool looking. Oh, and by the way it’s known as “Woodholme”. That’s Woodholme! Starts with a “W” and ends with a “oodholme”!

On a side note, Urbex London was a good idea, but I know now in retrospect that the planning was way too complicated to actually work as an actual blog… So, it has gone the way of many other crazy ideas that I have had, sadly. However, I am confident that something else will grow from it’s decrepit and pitiful remains… “Time will tell.”, so says the clockmaker.



It's Sunday evening! Set your clock back one hour already, you fucking idiot!

The Parents Television Council Can Eat My Ass With a Spoon

(lol disclaimer lol); I hate 90% of the media, almost all of the FOX network and also waterfalls. I honestly don’t mean to offend any parent out there that might read this except if you are one of those parents that treat your kids like they are the cause of all of your problems. If you are one of those parents, you suck and I hate you.

(This monster truck is soooooo cool! It says "What would Jesus CRUSH?" on the front! Wow!)

I read this article of the CNN Website of Doom last week [WEBLINK!]. I was going to just paste the article here like I normally do, but I wanted to help out cnn.com by adding a few links to it's site and hopefully giving it a bit of traffic from my site. It’s a pretty good news site and you should click the above link and show your support so it stays up and running... K, done reading the article? Good. Let us continue.

First of all, did you know there was a The Parents Television Council? If you answered yes, you are totally lying. It’s basically a group of Christian fundamentalists that decided to gain a bit of credibility by calling themselves something other than “Christian fundamentalists”. So, instead of making a public mockery of themselves and their religion by waving enormous brass crosses and screaming at gay people, they decided to call themselves The Parents Television Council in hopes of maybe fooling two or three people into thinking they know what the hell they are talking about.

Recently, this “Council” decided to tell the parents of the world what was “good” to let their children to watch on TV and what was “bad”. Now, this is normal these days and I don’t really have a huge problem with this. People giving detailed instructions on how to behave in society is sadly a regular thing in the media these days. It’s worthless crap most of the time and pretty easy to ignore. Now, what I do have a problem with is The Parents Television Council. Yes, The Parents Television Council. Why you ask? Check this quote out by Brent Bozell, which I think is the divinely appointed Pope of this council or something:

"Families should not be deceived. The top three worst shows all contain crude and raunchy dialogue with sex-themed jokes and foul language. Even worse is the fact that Hollywood is peddling its filth to families with cartoons."

What he’s babbling about is the top three shows on the list: “The War at Home”, “The Family Guy” and “American Dad”, all of which are on the FOX network.

Go fuck yourself Parents Television Council. You think that families are being “deceived” by these shows because the shows are cartoons? How stupid do you think we are? It only took me 5 seconds of watching my first Family Guy episode to understand two things: that it was targeted to idiot stoners like myself and that it was fucking hilarious. Oh and hey, Pope Brent or whatever your name is, if you think anything that’s a cartoon means it’s targeted to children, I could show you some hentai porn that would deceive you and your family from here till next Tuesday!

(Patrick Duffy's diembodied laserbeam shooting floating head attacking a baby has nothing at all to do with this article)

The Parents Television Council are blaming the media when it should be blaming the unfit parents for using the TV as a babysitter. Why? Because it’s easier to blame it on one thing as opposed to the real answer; everything.

Don’t get me wrong though; The FOX network, as we all know, is owned and run by Satan himself, but blaming them for “deceiving” families is like blaming the crazy homeless man on the corner because he convinced you that the government is run by Polish zombies. We all know that most media is crap. Pope Brent, stop expecting it to be all flowers and bunnies and start looking at the parents. Oh, and get a haircut and a real job while you are at it!

Finally, CNN quoted FOX’s response to this announcement by the Jesus Council like this;

“A Fox spokesman said the network never comments on reports by the Parents Television Council.”

I would like to translate this response into the more honest non-politically correct response using a powerful computer with lots of lights on it and many switches and buttons as well… Okay, the actual response is ready. Here it is;

”We think that the Parents Television Council are a bunch of fucking idiots and we ignore everything they say about us. I like fudge!”

Okay. I made up the fudge part, but that’s pretty much what FOX and myself say about this Council of repressed idealist God cronies.


Jesus loves you…

Primary Colours are Hypnotic... or something.

Pictures last weekend and the weekend before that I thought were just okay, until I developed them, scanned them and played with them in Photoshop. They quickly turned out to be what I think are some of the best photos I have taken in quite a while… I am revived!

Yeah, pretty simple photo but it's my favourate of all these. This is exactly what I saw when I took the shot. Took me a bit longer to get the settings right and took the shot, hoping for this exact result. No Photoshop work needed, just total straight photography... This photo is exactly why I love taking pictures; it's my imagination made permanent. Awesome.

Everyone that's seen this say that it's their favourate of the three. It's odd, becuase I almost didn't work on this one. I was going for simplicity in this and thought the result was too "busy", too much going on, too many angles and lines... I still like it, but still not sure why people like this one the best... I love the colours though, which is of course why I took it in the first place.


Blue Brick:

My personal favourate of all three. This took a lot of thought. I didn't change any colour settings (well, maybe a little), but the original shot was going to hopefully show an equally blue sky at the top with an equally green roof as well, showing this cool colour matchup. I spent a while on this one and eventually decided that the sky was not blue enough and the roof was not green enough to make it how I really wanted... Just my luck, when I removed the sky and roof and added a colour gradient border, it just worked perfectly as a real work of art... I love it when that happens.


Next weekend is the first mission for Urbex London. Ren and I (and hopefully more) will be walking around searching for the unknown beauty... We shall see what happens.

Urbex London Goes Gold

The Suspense is Killing Me will be my word blog and personal photos. Urbex London is my new thing, an experiment in multi-author blogging. Dedicated to urban exploration photos in the London, Ontario and surrounding areas.

Hopefully I will get more than the two members I have already. One of those members is me, so I pretty much just have that one member... because the other member is me and I don't count as a member... but the other guy does... I am like the platoon leader and the one other guy is the entire platoon. Have I explained this properly? Do you understand? Good.
